Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.
And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.
Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.
The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.
America must secure her release NOW.
having dinner at a hotel bar the other night struck up a conversation with a mid-level United Healthcare exec. he told me he puts over $300,000 a year on his company credit card just for entertaining clients. In case you’re wondering why you can’t afford health insurance
He’s right bc we tax income, not wealth.
Bezos takes out a tiny salary, pays the income tax, and lives off loans borrowed against his stocks, basically tax free. They all do this and now 935 billionaires hold more wealth than 170 million Americans.
It’s time to tax wealth.
The average teacher's salary in Missouri is $55,132. The average length of a teacher's contract in Missouri is 181.4 days. If we aren't properly compensated, a lot of us will leave the profession and you will be left with some real idiots teaching your children.
Did I do that right?
Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading, but $15/hour is too much for everyone else.

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.
Last year, right before we went to the hospital for our 2nd baby, a random family showed up at our house in Texas.
We hadn’t listed our home on Airbnb — someone took our Zillow photos and put it up. Had to break the bad news to the Airbnb guests that their weekend booking didn’t exist.
I spent multiple days trying to get @Airbnb to take down the listing. They refused, instead asking me to provide our deed and other documentation, which they said would then be shared with the fraudulent host. 3 other families showed up across those days, each one with their travel plans ruined.
I could not for the life of me get someone at Airbnb to act like a human instead of following a script. Make no mistake — that kind of unhelpfulness is intentional and designed. The constant switching of support representative, the same pasted script each time, none of that is accidental. So I agree with this. Would absolutely rather have had AI vs customer support lemmings.
When Airbnb works, it’s magical. But today, I avoid it unless I absolutely have to. I hope you hear the guests worldwide @bchesky and go back into founder mode on this.
